ACHIEVEMENT. 



A POLITICAL FABLE. 



/^NCE upon a time, and a very 
good time it was, too, a 
trusty Watch Dog, who was left, in 
the absence of his master, to guard 
the household, had a struggle with 
a worthless Tramp. The Tramp, 
worsted in the contest, and smarting 
with pain and the sting of defeat, 
said, "Well, if I cannot beat you I 
can at least give you a bad name." 
Thereupon he ran through the streets 



A POLITICAL FABLE. 



and byways of the town crying at 
the top of his voice, so that all might 
hear, ''Bad Dog! Bad Dog!" The 
credulous people, none too nice in 
distinguishing the differences in 
sounds, and deceived into thinking 
the dog was "mad," set upon the 
trusty Watch Dog and stoned him 
to death. And the worthless Tramp 
went on his way rejoicing, for that 
not only had he his revenge for his 
defeat, but he was in a better plight 
for getting Into the kitchen on his 
next coming Into that town. 



A POLITICAL FABLE. 



SEQUEL 



The unwary people, such was 
their haste, did not stone to death 
the trusty Watch Dog, but another 
dog that chanced to be passing 
through the town at that time.
